Former champion Rory McIlroy found a neighbours backyard swimming pool in losing 6 & 5 to Ian Poulter after a lop-sided first match on the opening day of the WGC – Dell Match-Play Championship in Austin, TX. McIlroy was never in front against his long-time European Ryder Cup colleague including right from an opening tee shot that McIlroy sent way left into the tree-line to find a bunker. Poulter played a superb shot to go 1up with a birdie ‘3’ and with the Englishman looking ...

Dumbarnie Links, the spectacular and newest Scottish golf course, will play host this August to the Women’s Scottish Open. The Clive Clark designed course laid out along the Forth of Firth at Lower Largo in Fife was officially opened on May 29th last year and meaning it will be just 15 months to it plays host to one of the major events on the Ladies European Tour scheduled. Previously known since 2007 and the Ladies Scottish Open the now renamed Women’s Scottish Open will be held from ...

Scotland’s David Drysdale was soaring with two eagles to the top of the leaderboard on day two of the Kenya Savannah Classic in Nairobi. Dyrsdale, who last week celebrated his 46th birthday, eagled both the par-5 sixth hole and the par-5 11th in a second straight round of 65 on the Karen Country Club course. ‘Double D’ had missed the cut on the same course at last week’s Miracle Kenya Open but he’s certainly turned on the magic less than a week later in not only snaching ...

Here’s a scenario many would rather not have to contemplate. It is Friday 9th April, 2021 and you’re leading the Masters.  You receive a telephone call from your wife to say the couple’s first born is due over the weekend. What do you do? World No. 2 Jon Rahm knows what he will be doing and insists being present for the birth of his son will come before a Masters green jacket. The double Dubai Duty Free Irish Open winning Spaniard revealed ahead of this week’s WGC – ...

Scotland’s David Drysdale would be the first to agree that two days are never the same in the ancient club-and-ball game of golf. Just four days after missing the halfway cut on the same Karen Country Club course, Drysdale went out to superbly produce an eight birdie haul on the opening day of the Kenya Savannah Classic. The Borders golfer raced to be out in just 29 shots thanks to six birdies and home in 36 for his super effort that has him lying just a shot off the lead in Nairobi. Four ...

It could be one of the more timely decisions in golf with Rory McIlroy to ‘officially’ begin working full-time with legendary English swing coach Pete Cowen as he looks to rediscover his Major winning form heading to the Masters. The Masters is just 16 days away while it’s been just over 500-days since McIlroy last won. It was friend, colleague and fellow AGW member Jamie Corrigan who set tongues wagging that McIlroy is now working with Cowen in an article appearing in the London ...

Connor Syme will look for an even shorter route teeing-up in tomorrow’s (TUES) inaugural Kenya Savannah Classic in Nairobi. Syme secured an equal Tour best finish of third in Sunday’s concluding Magical Kenyan Open and now after just a day’s break it will be back out on the same Karen Country Club course. This inaugural event, and being run from Tuesday to Friday, is being staged as part of a ‘Kenyan Swing’ and with Syme joining nine Tartan colleagues who competed last year remaining in ...
